My kind physiotherapist said on my last appointment, "you're all belly though" I felt confident to assure her that my cardigan and jeans have confirmed that my arms and legs are also pregnant! In fact I feel that my entire body has ballooned in what I would like to think is in as a sense of camaraderie with my stomach!
After some debate I have decided to let you see a bump photo,
This was my 30 week bump photo for comparison
I am beyond uncomfortable and walking prompts such intense braxton hicks that the lady in mothercare looked slightly sceptical when I reassured her I wasn't in labour. I'd gone in to get a nightie and massive knickers for hospital and the lady became very helpful quickly grabbing them for me so we could quickly pay and get home :-D
Aren't they just adorable?
Poor hubby had the lawn to do! 
The twins love our dog Poppy, they were very clear upon leaving that they would miss Poppy the most out of all of us!!
Hospital bag still isn't packed though. Perhaps at 8.5 months pregnant it should be!
My inability most nights to last past 8pm before becoming a zombie and going to bed has inhibited my crafting which has almost grinded to a halt.
I eventually managed to bring myself to undo the shawl which I had done the wrong tension for and ensure that the half way point of the shawl was also the half way point of the wool. Having redone the entire second side I realised with horror that I has still run out of wool despite using a tighter tension in the second half then the first!?!
I haven't got far to go but far enough that a little alteration won't stretch the wool out enough to complete it.
You can see from the pictures that the wool is made of 8 colours, I start decreasing at the end of the 4th colour and use a tighter tension for the red half so how can I have run out??? Perhaps I have super baby brain but this makes no sense to me.
Anyway the failure of this simple shawl pattern for a second time sent me into such a mood that only my husband throwing ice cream my way made my huffiness go away.
After discussing this, at length, with my very patient husband (in what must have been for him the most boring conversation ever) I've reached the conclusion that I am going to unwravel the entire thing, use a smaller hook and go by the weight of the wool for the half way point instead of going by the colour change to indicate half way.
......I will complete this shawl if it kills me........
What I have managed to do more successfully is finish my photograph challenge.
In 4 months I have managed to sort through all the photos we have from 2010 to the end of 2016, putting it all into years and months and selecting the best and making them into photobooks. I have worked out that I have sorted through a total of 64,532 photos on total! I will show you a photo of our complete photobook collection since 2007 when the last two books arrive :)
In other news last weekend was lovely.
Kudos to my older brother and his wife who came to visit us (a 3.5 hour drive) with his twin girls to save us the journey. My nieces just get more and more gorgeous every time I see them. They are very different to Nemo and Pip, much more delicate creatures. I remember when they and Nemo were just over 2 and we took them to the beach. The twins picked flowers and held them nicely in their hands for hours, Nemo meanwhile was running around chucking rocks into the sea!
On the Saturday we took the kids on a train ride.
Here are the 4 of them watching the toy train tracks.
On the Sunday we went to the local soft play then spent the afternoon in the garden.
We introduced my Brother's family to Trolls, something that our children have been obsessed with since my Sister played it for them when we last visited!
Well I will leave you with the usual cute photos of my children sleeping. This may well be my last blog before baby Pip arrives (unless I have something slightly interesting to talk about!) so will look forward to showing you baby photos yay!
